It sounds like you are overly risk-averse (I'm guessing you are not a founder?).

AirBnB is rewards versus risks, as the article author implies right at the end.

I have used a wide variety of accommodation: AirBnB, hotels, staying with friends, short term rentals, campervans, cars, outdoors, staying with randoms I have met.

They all have benefits, and they all have risks.

AirBnB has given me a huge range of different benefits, and I super appreciate that it exists.

Correct, I'm not a founder, and honestly I roll my eyes a lot about how founders on this site are treated like some sort of demigod.

You didn't comment on my opinion that Airbnb is complicit in the scams. Do you not agree?

I certainly hope that isn't the case, and it wasn't my intention to imply that. This site was primarily begun for founders AFAIK, and I am one myself.

I just wanted to say that founders are supposed to make intelligent bets on risks.

Employees often take risks too.

Sometimes employees have less control over their risks than founders do, and sometimes they make the right bets.
